i've never NOT flushed a tampon and i've never had a problem with plumbing anywhere i have lived. tampons are tiny and really no different than a wad of toilet paper or a giant shit. i certainly would never flush a pad, though; those get wrapped and thrown away.

and i just checked the o.b tampon website and they said it was cool, too.

boys always be trippin'.

Aren't tampons specifically designed to absorb moisture and therefore NOT to dissolve in your vagina? TP is made to dissolve. That is it's secondary purpose aside from wiping poo and pee off of your bum and pee hole. This is also why flushing Kleenex is a bad idea, as any plumber will tell you.
